Hello, Found there is an HIKVISION app ([Hikvision Appli pour Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/fr-fr/app/com.hikvision/Hikvision/)) i decided to buy a DS7600 NVR and 4 accusense cameras. NVR is working good. I installed the homey Hikvision app but i wonder if the app is working or not ? 1/ Camera image cannot be seen via HIKVISION app but can be seen via onvif app. Is that normal or it is possible to see camera snapshot from homey hikvision app ?? How to ?? 2/ This flow is not working ? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/8/e8c1e94d313beebd205ae2e74c3406bda40227d7.png) Normal ? Intrusion is never got by the homey hikvision app?? Normal 3/ App keeps deconnecting ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/2/4272b2f451d8d05d8a5ee2a8e7ee86b7a4c976c5.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/6/46b9d2092aa7710aa95837090d7ab6d79411fb4a.jpeg) Is that normal ??

Try the [Hikvision topic](https://community.homey.app/t/app-hikvision/16642) please, lots of info there. And maybe [ONVIF Camera App voor Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.onvif/ONVIF-Camera/) is of any use for you. Oh, is your NVR using a reserved IP? ---
